Answers to the questions you may have to help get you started.

What measures does Controlpad take to secure my data?

Controlpad takes several measures for data backup and security. Firstly, all user data and code is remotely backed up every 24 hours (rotational backup). Customer-provided images are stored and secured separately by Amazon. High availability is provided by Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). RDS manages backups, software patching, automatic failure detection, and recovery.

Security is important to Controlpad. We continually seek to use the best, safest methods to keep your data secure.
